If you’d like to make an Easter card with a cross, I found one in the Daffodil Daydream Bundle. I used Daffodil Dies that were meant to cut flower stems to cut “boards” for a cross; two 4″ verticals, and two 3″ horizontals. To make it looks like a wooden cross, I used In Good Taste Designer Paper in a wood texture, and backed with cardstock for thickness.
Easter Cross
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Ornate Layers Die. The card base is Pear Pizzazz, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The “grass” is another Daffodil Die, meant to cut a flower part, which I cut from a scrap of Flowering Fields Designer Paper. The butterflies, also a Daffodil Die, was used to cut five butterflies; three from Mango Melody, Flowering Fields DSP, and two from Daffodil Delight, Waves Of The Ocean DSP.
Prior to gluing things in place, I used two Daffodil Daydream Stamps and Pear Pizzazz Ink to stamp “Easter Blessings,” and the dots.
Lastly, I attached the butterflies with Mini Dimensionals, which I cut in half. It’s easiest to cut portions of Dimensionals, if you leave them on the sheet while cutting; just a trick I learned.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
